Nicholas Malizia

Journalist

I am a Reporter at Edinburgh Live in Edinburgh, Scotland and former News Editor at The Student, the University of Edinburgh's student newspaper and the oldest student paper in Europe. 

My content includes investigations, court reporting, breaking news, and exclusive features. I specialise in reporting on the Edinburgh Employment Tribunal, health and social care, and education. 

As a student journalist at the University of Edinburgh, I was nominated for News Writer of the Year at the Herald Student Awards. While serving as News Editor for The Student, the paper won Best Publication 2024 at the Student Publication Association (SPA) National Conference Awards, with the judge commending the quality of our investigations and hyperlocal news coverage. One of my investigations was also nominated for Best Investigation in 2024 by SPA. 

I have completed work experiences at news outlets including The National, Edinburgh Live, and the Daily Express. 

When I graduated from Penn State University in 2022, my Honors Thesis in English was named Runner Up to Best Thesis in the Humanities by the College of Liberal Arts. I was also awarded grant funding by the University to hike the Appalachian Trail for the project.
